Kinetic Molecular Theory Practice Test

The average kinetic energy increases during isothermal compression, so the pressure increases due to faster particles.

Intermolecular attractions increase during compression and reduce collisions with the walls, causing the pressure to decrease.

The particles slow down as the volume decreases, so each collision transfers less momentum and the pressure increases.

The particles gain mass during compression, so collisions become more frequent and the pressure increases.

The particles collide with the piston more frequently because they have less distance to travel, increasing the pressure.
